Review: The Highlander's Accidental Marriage (Marriage Mart Mayhem #6) by Callie Hutton

Image
Synopsis She never intended to take a husband... Scotland, 1817 The Duke of Manchester's sister, Lady Sarah Lacey, always abides by the rules of etiquette. Fate, however, has no such confines. On a journey to the Scottish Highlands, Lady Sarah is set upon by misfortune-leaving her without carriage or chaperone, and left to the mercy of a kind and handsome gentleman. Whom (in order to secure a room at an inn) she announces is her husband. When she proclaims they're married in public, Professor Braeden McKinnon can't bring himself to correct the lovely Lady Sarah. After all, her reputation would be ruined. Nor can he tell her that her proclamation is not only legally binding in Scotland, but sharing a room is considered to be an act of consummation... Now they are bound together until death do they part-even if Sarah has no intention of becoming  any  man's wife. 5-Stars Review Another Marriage Mart Mayhem novel and just as good as all other I got to read.

Review: The Lost Soul of Lord Badewyn (The Order of the MUSE #3) by Mia Marlowe

Review: Compromising Her Position By Samanthe Beck

Image
Synopsis A sexy category romance from Entangled's Brazen imprint... He's not who she expected, but he's exactly the man she needs… When Chelsea Wayne drags Santa into a supply closet for a little office party nookie, she assumes the man in the suit is her on-again/off-again coworker boyfriend. Instead, it's Rafe St. Sebastian, a man known for his hard-driving ways in business as well as the bedroom--and, kill her now, the brand spanking new owner of Las Ventanas--who grants her naughtiest Christmas wishes. So much for her reputation, not to mention her career. Rafe needs to close three acquisitions to prove to his father he's ready to take the helm of St. Sebastian Enterprises. A hot interlude in a supply closet after deal number two seems like the perfect illicit Christmas bonus. Unfortunately, when that "bonus" becomes the key to the final deal, he finds himself back in bed--so to speak--with Chelsea, and after their steamy tryst, he's not inter

Review: Chance of a Lifetime (Anderson Brothers #3) by Marissa Clarke

Image
Synopsis Sometimes the biggest risk is playing it safe… Gen Richards is tired of living down to her family’s expectation of the helpless blind girl. Resurrecting her high-school bucket list that begins with “kiss a total stranger” seems just the thing until she finds herself in a panty-melting lip lock with her big brother’s best friend.  Chance Anderson thrives on adrenaline, but Genny’s the one risk he’s not willing to take. His recklessness a decade ago landed her in the hospital and ejected him from her life. He’s bad for her and everyone knows it—especially her big brother.  Chance reluctantly helps Gen complete her bucket list in order to keep her out of trouble. Running through a freezing fountain, playing Spin the Bottle while fending off a mad horde of stinging insects, and skinny dipping with homicidal attack swans don’t hold a candle to the real danger: falling for the one person he can never have . 5-Stars Review Absolutely loved this story. It is such a heart warmi

To show her that sometimes being bad can be sexy as hell... Alix has always done what she's supposed to, and it's gotten her exactly nowhere.

Review: Blurring the Lines by Marisa Cleveland

Image
Synopsis He broke all his rules... for her. Real estate development CEO Blake Whitman is an Aquarius with a philanthropic nature, but when it comes to work, he's driven and focused, and he would never, ever mix business with pleasure. As far as he's concerned, office romance is off the table. He also never backs down from a challenge, and Kira Layton just accused him of ruining the community. What better way to get her on his side than to hire her? But the more he tells himself to keep his hands off his new, sexy secretary, the harder it is for him to come up with reasons why office romances never work and why it's a bad idea to cross the line.. 4-Stars Review This was an interesting and enjoyable read. I liked Blake's character and chemistry between Kira and him made this book more entertaining to read. Kira is amusing, funny and determined woman. She wants to support/help the society and willing to work hard in order to achieve those goals. Blake is and over
